Majo's has a lovely ambience, good service and the food is really lovely too. Our 'go-to' entree are the arancini balls and they are very flavoursome and the sauce is so good. We've tried a fair few of their pizzas and they are all great and the wait staff and kitchen have always been happy with alterations to the toppings. The pizza bases are delish (the sign of a truly good pizza in my books). The cannelloni was a little too salty when we tried it but the other pasta dishes have been really tasty and very generous the portion sizes. A lovely spot for a get-together with friends, family or even a relaxed date night.
Really great service and delicious authentic Italian food! The cheese focaccia was a great start and the gnocchi was extremely generous and creamy. Our waiter was lovely too. We will be back :)
I went here on a Friday night with my partner and we ordered bruschetta to share for a starter and pizzas for mains. The bruschetta was delicious and fresh, and they served a nice large portion (easily enough for 2 to share). I had a mushroom and ham pizza which was the best pizza I've had in the area! My partner had the Mexicano and really enjoyed his too. We spotted other customers with pasta and risotto and it looked great, we look forward to trying out other dishes on the menu for our next visit. The staff were also super friendly making it a good local find!
Heard about this renowned Italian restaurant running in New Farm for a while and had dinner last month. Venue is huge and packed with diners. Service is friendly and proficiency. It was our veggie day so we ordered the vegetarian pizza, Mediterranean Salad and a Risotto. I could not deny that I have not had such nice pizza for a while. The pizza has a thin base with a soft fluffy crust and it would not leave any grease on your fingers when you pick up a slice which is accompanied with strands of cheese. Dessert of Cinnamon and Apple Calzone is another surprise, which is huge in portion with just good enough of sweetness. I highly recommend you to try the pizza at this place.
Had a table of 6. Service was great , food was quick and magnificent and it was very good value for money
Would thoroughly recommend . Thanks for a great night .
The best lemon lime and bitter, portion of pasta is big enough for me for 2meals (I'm girl). Garlic bread is fantastic 😊😊😊 my 4th times to come back within a month
Ranga With An Appetite
+3.5
I think the appearance is nice, the staff were friendly, the restaurant looks like it will be expensive but it is actually reasonably priced. I wouldn't say hurry to get there but worth checking out.
Great pizza. Good prices. Huge servings. Buzzy atmosphere. Inside or outside. Local. Easy parking. Interesting district. Perfect trattoria style eating. Best go-to Italian in Bris that I know.
An awesome local! Yummy traditional italian that even impressed my former hospo working boyfriend! Make sure you try there italian pizza's and there traditional carbonara omg so good! If you are on the hunt for decent well priced italian this is the place. Oh and the service stuff are always great!
We have been here a few times and always left happy. I love the italian pizza and garlic bread. The pasta we've had has been good every time too. Full of flavour and good ingredients- not dodgy ones that some people try to get away with. One of my favourite italian places for sure
I hadn't heard of this place before but decided to try it anyway because we had a craving for pasta. The pasta I ordered was decent (not the best I've had but not bad either) and at a great price too! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual dinner catch up for massive servings at a great price. Will definitely be coming back!
Fantastic Italian. We have eaten here a few times and the food is Brilliant. So great to have a large and varied menu. Generous portion sizes and good prices. Large choice of seating and good service. Proscuitto Bruschetta was a great combination and great to share.Very tender calamari and the veal scallopine - beautiful. Well done
Yummo. Went here on our last night in Brisbane and couldn't have been happier with the food. The veal scaloppini was so tender it melted in your mouth and the garlic prawns were quite simply awesome. Will definitely be going back.
The service was good and the staff were lovely! Food portions were much bigger than expected, and extremely filling. Ended up taking lots of leftovers home haha! Despite this, if your after a more modern take on Italian dishes, or simply want to feel like your participating in fine dining, then perhaps Majo's isn't for you :/
Great value. Very good food and cheap prices. I had a huge main of stuffed pasta with an extra chicken breast. Have never seen so much food for under $20
Really nice casual meal in the outdoor garden. Grab a table in the outdoor garden if you can. Ate lunch both times when hardly anyone was around. Pizza, pasta, gnocchi, bruschetta all yummy. Thoroughly enjoyed by everyone at our big table :)
Absolutely fantastic!. The food was incredibly delicious, the staff were attentive and delightful and the atmosphere of the restaurant was classy and welcoming! I had my 20th birthday dinner here and I was so please! The pizzas were just incredible, the crust was just perfect and I heard the pasta was equally as good! definitely coming back here soon!
Fantastic Pizza!!!!!!!!!!. I think that this is nearly the only place in Brisbane that knows how to make a pizza, well done, good prices for Brisbane, lots of toppings, very tasty. It reminds me of the great pizza that I always got in Melbourne yummo!
Had a really nice meal and the prices were reasonable. Can be a little noisy when groups are there but you can overlook that. Disappointed that the waiter didn't come back of his own accord and wipe up the drink which was spilt on our table as he served them.
Delicious food and delightful staff. This is how a restaurant should be run! Huge portions of flavoursome pasta dishes, (entree size is huge!!!) crispy , authentic pizza and the staff are all so attentive efficient and friendly. Love this place so much.
Affordable and delicious. I love this place. Affordable cocktails and a great selection of yummy pizzas and pasta sauces.
Relief at last...triumph!. Relief at last.....finally a pizzeria that knows how to ferment dough with flavour and character -a triumph to baking skill, yeast fermentation knowledge and common sense.
So much variety!. I never know what to order when I visit Majo's. It's always a stressful and lengthy decision. They have such a huge menu and everything sounds fantastic. Food portions are fantastic - really is value for money. Can't wait to visit you again Majo's.
COMMITMENT. They take their pizza seriously. The skill is seen in the dough as the wild yeast makes a huge difference to the flavour. And thank you for not cutting my pizza into triangular slices but serving it whole (as it should always be).
Italian banquet delicious. Visiting family from Melbourne and was recommended majos pizzeria for our family reunion last night. We ordered the slow cooked lamb shanks, mushroom risotto, the slow cooked braised fettuccine chianti beef ragu and numerous fior di latte Italian pizza. Which we all shared in a typical Italian banquet way. The meals were superb and service was exceptional.
Great food and amazingly big portions! Great value for money and service was excellent.
Rivals the best. The amazing aspect of majos is its simplicity and purity. The restaurant states it is casual and keeps within their belief of simple and hearty everyday Italian cuisine.
La Pizza is proofed to perfection with bread defined qualities. And the pasta selection covers all regions of Italy and served generously with freshly grated parmeggiano.
Majo's Review. Never disappoints. Been coming for over 1 year and keeps getting better. I seem to be looked after by the same female staff member always smiling. The restaurant is big on casual and prompt service. The menu is straight foward with traditional and popular pasta and pizza under the $20 price which makes it really popular amongst our friends. The servings are huge and this contributes to a pleasing atmosphere of satisfaction-especially if you are of mediterranean heritage.
Fab fabulous. Fabulous pasta, pizza and super dooper friendly staff. Straight forward casual environment that suits large groups and families with all my favourite classic Italian dishes. Huge hit.
Delicious. Italian pasta and pizza that are incredibly flavoursome and hearty at cheap prices
Memorable birthday. Great great food. My friends took me here for dinner on my birthday and I was blown away. They made every effort to accommodate our needs.
Pretty Decent. Friendly staff, acceptable price, pizzas came out relatively quickly. We had the margherita and proscuitto and the margherita and chorizo with caramelised onions. Both agreed the chorizo was the winner - delicious. Pizza was larger then expected, always a good thing :)
Fun pizza night out. All the characteristics and charm of a wondeful pizzeria with great selection of Italian wines and beers. Generous servings, so great for the big family night out.
Love!!. Best authentic margarita pizza in town - the mix of cheeses especially the parmesan and basil together and the buttery delicious base. soooo good. new farms best kept secret.
ive tried most of the authentic pizzas and none disappoint
also amazing is the pesto chicken salad and the huge serving of chicken parmigiana which are aweeesomeee
definitely come for the authentic pizzas tho. very yummy/good price
Italian craving. Salmon bruschetta as entre - topping was yummy, fresh and well seasoned. However, the bread was rather ordinary, it tasted like the sort of bread you'd get from Pizza Hut, just slightly toasted.
Italian traditional pizza - great base, something I'd expect from a good pizza, but toppings were extremely wet. To a point where you can't pick the pizza up with all the toppings sliding off as soon as u lift it up.
Spaghetti - not bad, pasta al dente, but again, toppings were just ordinary.
Can't complain about service. We were the only diners on a weekday arvo.
Will I go back?
Probably not
Proofing of dough is truly magnificent. Any professional baker will judge a pizza by the proving of the dough. Truly magnificent. They are definitely leaders in baking the finest of pizza. the margherita is their benchmark; simple and extremely flavoursome. $16.90
Authentic Italian - MOJO'S. To all Coeliacs, You will eat the best gluten free pizza at Mojo's. (I am coeliac) However - My family are Italian so we are fussy when it comes to Italian restaurants. Actually we don't eat Italian food at restaurants due to many times of disappointments. We do eat pizza's but only Wood fired pizza this is our choice. MOJO'S IS THE MOST AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESTAURANT OUTSIDE OF ITALY. Perfect pizza's, delicious pasta dishes (a bit too heavy on the cream dishes). The stand out pasta dishes are the Beef Ragu and the Pescatore (Seafood) My mother-in -law who is a traditional Italian cook is impressed with Mojo's. Choose from the Authentic Italian Pizza range, you will not be disappointed. Must have the Calzone deserts. All of them.
Excellent food. Large servings with efficient & attentive service. Definitively recommended.
The Italian job completed. Give me a maserati and a majos pizza and pasta any day. Viva majos!
I had chicken pumpkin pesto fettuccine and it was awesome. Pizzas good too! Will be back! Really good size meals!
Amazing!. My fiancee and I have been to this restraunt many times and have never been dissapointed.. always had a lovely greeting on the way in and a friendly good bye at the end.
we have never had to wait any more then 20 minutes for our meals which have always been amazing and with 2 drinks and entre and 2 manis for under $50 you cant go wrong.
definitely one of our favourites, I would reccomend this to anyone.
Italian pizza...cosa nostra. Read the Calabrians comments that the real Italian pizza is not sliced to keep the juices intact. So I flew to Sicily over holidays (family visit) and discovered that the italian pizza in southern Italy is not sliced. Interesting lesson learnt. So I appreciate that majos pizzeria has had the balls to keep their italian pizza truly truthful and unsliced.
Great Food in a Great location. Went to Majo's last night based upon the overall reviews on Urbanspoo and they were definitely spot on. The food was fantastic. We have a fairly plain eating son and he ordered the authentic Margherita, however it was packed with great flavours and had a delicious base. My wife had a Penne Matriciana she said it was the best she has ever had in her life. I had the Sweet Chillli Chicken classic pizza, it was great. No-one could finish their meals. Would thoroughly recommend eating in the courtyard on a average summers night.
Bob...another competitor writes on Majos page. Bob, in your comments you want the chef to be sacked cause your $12 margherita small takeaway pizza did not have garlic. I can never recall a margherita pizza ever having garlic.
It's ok to write a review but to take it to the extreme of wanting the pizza chef sacked demonstrates that you are harbouring a sadistic and angry streak beyond normality and therefore you must be a competitor using anonimity to slam your competition (majo's). A quick google search of pizzeria's that have garlic listed on their margherita pizza will show where you work or the pizzeria you own.
Bob, bit of advice, use your energy in a constructive manner and the internet will be a better place for the future. I love Majo's.
The Pig Pizza From Calabria
+4.5
SPOT A GENUINE...avoid the fakes. A genuine authentic/traditional pizza is not presented sliced on a plate. Cause the juices will flow and if the correct genuine cheese is used it will run also (especially buffala and fior di latte). You can tell that Majos is genuine- presented on a plate with a knife and fork and uncut.
A fake is sliced; with processed curd cheese or combination of cheeses and ingredients that do not flow.....so the customer can pick it up. So why does La Via, Gusto di Gianni, Beccofino, Arriva, Vespa, Popolo......etc all slice their pizza? Why?
It is easy to spot a genuine and a fake.
This review is sponsored by the Italian Calabrian Community of Brisbane and President Sebastiano.
Majo's pizza gives some other new farm establishments a serious run for their money! takeaways are consistently piping hot which is a big plus.
Viva Italia. Decadent Italian pizza and pasta followed by gelati across the road at redel gelato..........my little slice of Italia
Decent Italian. Service was great, fast and friendly. Pasta dishes were tasty and portion sizes pretty generous but not too much. Good choice of specials and the tuna was cooked really well, rare in the middle and chargrilled on the outside. Good atmosphere. Will definitely go back.
Awesome customer service. Friday night stepped in with a few friends and the restaurant was packed to the rafters. i was directed to the bar and while we waited we were offered"complimentary" drinks. Yes, you heard it first........free round of drinks while we waited. Finally, a restaurant that treats their customers with a 10/10 care factor and strive to provide excellent customer satisfaction. Well done
Traditional Lasagne FINALLY!!!!. I watched an episode of master chef on channel 10 when the company director of Barilla Pasta in Italy tasted their zucchini lasagne that the contestants made. The Barilla Company guy was shocked, horrified and stunned by the combination of unusual flavours and stated that it lacked taste and was not traditional (to the shock of those 3 chef celebrity clowns). It made me think of how the lasagne at Majos New Farm is kick arse traditional and yummy beef lasagne with melted cheese. It is great to know that ITALIANS stick to the awesome traditional recipes and all the chef celebrity clowns try to reinvent everything; and keep forgetting what we the customers really want- Cheesy Beef Lasagne.
Was always hesitant to eat here after reading some negative review but honestly the best pizza I've had in a while, particuly the mushroom & napoletana pizzas. Pizza bases are lovely!
Italian eatery-warm and genuine. Majos is a genuine local italian eatery, with a great Melbourne iconic feel and touch in the heart of New Farm village (best kept secret of Brisbane). If you want to avoid that franchised feel that dominates the brisbane landscape (even made worse at Eagle street pier and now at the Emporium), the village eatery concept at New Farm is warm and genuine. Walk across the road to Re Di Gelato for a wonderful gelato to finish of a great Italian experience.
Impeccable Service. Service and food is consistently impeccable. Waiters are there to please and accommodating to our needs. Restaurant has a warm atmosphere and great for families.
Pasta masters....huge selection and HUGE servings of traditional pasta at satisfying prices ($15-$18). staff are terrific and friendly. relaxed atmosphere to hang out and chill. no attitude just heaps of smiles. just talent.
Pizza Fanatic. As a chef; the consistency of a pizza MUST be soft. The white mozzarella should be evenly spread with patches of green basil. The crust MUST taste of baked bread, golden brown with blisters. The mixture of tomato and bread in the mouth should be slightly acidic and have dense flavours. The size of the pizza should be 30cm and have a border of up to 2cm; with a very moist center. Fundamentally, one of the best pizza I have had in years. (Smoked Mozzarella and Salame Piccante)
My Favourite. Real hit for pizza, pasta and risotto. All my favourite meals; without the primadonna pretentious attitude of the city. Probably, the most welcoming restaurant I have been to in years with moderate and humble pricing.
Large menu to choose from. Covers all the Italian regular menu items, service was quick and cheery on a public holiday. The pasta was not good at all however perhaps the pizzas are the winner in this restaurant so next time we'll try those. If you are with a big group it might work because there is so much to choose from!
Review of majos pizza. I want to everyone to know that if you are looking for the real deal in pizza-this is the place. The menu has about 20 authentic Italian pizza and they are of the highest quality and standard and presentation. So much so, that it is virtually impossible to eat a pizza anywhere else. The wait staff are friendly and welcoming and refreshing- rather than distant and sophisticated. It makes you want to go back again.
Wonderfully casual. Simple fair that is hugely successful due to its passion, and authenticity when one desires a casual environment with friends
EPIC SUCCESS. Epic success. Great food. Great service. No fuss and no hype. Hidden authentic gem in New Farm Village. I hope it remains pure before it is discovered by the masses.
Fantastic! Wait staff were prompt and the food was really good. I had one of the pizzas and it came out with heaps of toppings. The lasagna was also ordered and was great as well. Would completely recommend.
Valentines treat. Booked dinner for valentines day. most efficient and wonderful service. attention to detail amazing by highly professional and charasmatic staff.
Truly Delightful. The authentic pizza menu is written as the margherita plus additional ingredients. Very authentic with 1 or 2 added ingredients. The salami piccanti is our favourite-just the margherita with a hot and spicy salami. My partner usually goes for the proscuitto with rocket. The cecchi chiant wine is a wonderful wine; to accompany the pizza. Truly delightful experience.
Finests Tiramisu in Brisbane @@ Majos. Tiramisu has the bitter espresso coffee taste with the dolce latte sweetness of the marscapone cheese; making it the finest Tiramisu in Brisbane. It is the real Tiramisu; dominated with flavour contrasts of bitter and sweet flavours which is famous in Italian cooking; also referred to as "Agro Dolce (bitter sweet).
I'm surprised this place isn't busier, my pizza was good and its a lovely venue.
Fantastic food, and fantastic service. The gorgonzola and walnut gnocchi was to die for. Huge serving sizes though - but they offer take away so all good! My date had the gnocchi special and she loved it too.
